About me

My Photo
thescrapmaster
Hello, my name is Samantha, and I am the creator of SPCC, the brand new color challenge blog. I am a full time undergraduate college student addicted to scrapbooking (especially patterned paper & stamps!!). I am a Stampin' Up! demonstrator & love stamps! I also blog daily at Scrapmaster's Paradise. My fiance and I live with our 5 wonderful dogs in a small town in Tennessee. As an undergraduate student, I am a senior majoring in biochemistry and psychology with a pre-medical concentration. Aside from school, I love to scrapbook & do anything craft related. I spend all of my free time scrapbooking or making cards. I don't know what I will end up doing with my future, but no matter where life takes me, I will be a scrapmaster for life!

Oh Christmas Tree

Wednesday, December 3, 2008

Ok Now for the details. Sorry about waiting so long to post the details but I had 2 final exams to study for :)

I made this card using this week's sketch challenge at 2S4U. For this card I used a piece of 5.5inch square Riding Hood Red cardstock. Then I stamped the snowflakes and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. The snowflakes and tree are all from the Stampin' UP set called Snow Swirled. I stamped the tree in Riding Hood Red ink and cut the cardstock around the tree. The tree is embellished with matte finish green brads and a cute little star. I just cut a piece of green paper and used the SU Scallop Edge punch to make the edge. The circle and snowflake accent was made just layering punched cardsstock. The ribbon is SU Riding Hood Red grosgrain ribbon. Whew, it sounds like a lot, but it was actually very easy to do.
